Wild Things: Restop 2 Wilderness Waste Containment Pouch

Poop Happens.

Poop happens. It happens a lot for runners. It happens even more for wild runners in the woods. That is normally a worry-free occurrence, given that much of our running terrain is well suited for pit stops that can easily be buried for quick decomposition. It’s a problem when trails lead through places where burying isn’t an option—on river banks, slickrock, high mountain tundra, snow, rocky areas or other environmentally delicate spots—places where nature’s call poses a real threat to the caller herself.

That’s when "Restop 2" comes into play. This gas-impervious bag-in-a-bag is an environmentally-friendly solution that is easy to use, sanitary, and, perhaps best of all, odor free. Restop 2 uses two bags in one, combining a liner designed for use directly on the ground which opens wide to make a big target.

The inner bag also contains a unique citrus "odor eater" blend of polymers and enzymes to break down the waste and turn it into a deodorized gel. After finishing one’s business, simply fold the inner bag into the zipper-locking outer containment pouch which keeps any odor inside with a medical-grade seal and added puncture resistance.

Each pouch comes with toilet paper and an antiseptic wipe. After using the "Leave No Trace"-worthy product, pack it out and dispose of it in a proper trash container when you’re "out of the woods."
